JavaScript for entering date based on value in an HTML text box

Question

Is there a library for entering text values in an HTML text box which are then converted into a date? For example, typing "Next Monday" puts next Monday's date in, "Next month" puts today's date + 1 month, "+4" puts today's date + 4 days, etc.

Maybe this can help: stackoverflow.com/questions/34979051/… — CaeSea

You might want to consider moment.js, which solves this sort of problem.

For natural language date-parsing, check out chrono.js.

chrono.parseDate(document.getElementById("my-input").value)

For an input value of "next week", this will return today's date plus seven days, in a Date type.
